Reporters with the Washington Post and New York Times were apparently less than enthusiastic about covering the controversial private meeting between then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton just months ahead of the 2016 election.

The non-profit American Center for Law and Justice published emails Friday that showed reporters asking Department of Justice officials for details on the meeting.

Mark Lander, a reporter for the Times, is seen in one June 30 email reaching out to a DOJ official to say he's "been pressed into service to write about the questions being raised" by the meeting.

Matt Zapotosky with the Post emailed a DOJ official the same day after several other emails to say that his editors "are still pretty interested" in the story but that he wanted to "put it to rest."

If it were not for alternative media sources, damn near nobody would have known about Bill Clinton and the corrupt-as-hell Loretta Lynch colluding to shove Hillary's crimes into obscurity. Yet another example of why I won't cry one tear if the Democrat Media Complex all goes bankrupt. In fact, I'll be laughing and cheering if I see Paul Krugman out on the street with a cardboard sign.

Like, the dead-tree version. I used to have it delivered to my mailbox. So did my father. But after the election, I didn't want to subscribe to a magazine that called me everything but a white boy, and did so in a sneering, condescending tone reminiscent of Chuck Schumer on the Senate floor.

Appearing Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Williamson attacked working- and middle-class Americans for daring to commit the thought crime of believing that the American government should actually serve Americans’ interests.

Working-class and middle-class Americans don’t have any legitimate complaints about the modern world — they’re just bigots expressing “status anxiety,” according to Williamson. “I think it’s status anxiety. You have a situation in which you have men, particularly blue-collar men, looking at the myth of what working-class life was like in the post-war era, 1950s and 1960s … this story, that’s not entirely true, that you could just get out of high school and go to a factory, make enough money to support a family and buy a house,” Williamson said.

People like Kevin Williamson are why I no longer give a damn what credentials you have or what degree you have. Because someone with the degrees and credentials of Kevin Williamson can still be a fucking idiot. If you want proof, take a look at Kevin Williamson.

Add him to the list of people who hates the country in-between I-5 and I-95. And he's supposedly a "conservative". Who has not and cannot conserve a damn thing. In fact, about the only thing he can do is roll over and do what the Democrats tell him to do. Thank God I'm not paying money for any more of his bullshit. National Review needs to die off, and do so soon. It's painful to watch them flail about. It's almost watching someone who used to be a good friend, who's now infected with some zombie virus. It kinda looks like your old pal, but you know it's just the animated corpse, shambling along mindlessly.

Sergio Jose Martinez, a 31-year-old transient and meth addict and alcoholic, allegedly entered a 65-year-old woman's apartment on Northeast Irving Street via an open window. What happened next is the stuff of nightmares.

This made things quite convenient for Martinez, whose criminal record in the United States stretches back to 2001, when, at the age of 15, he completed drug and alcohol treatment in Texas. He has since been deported over 20 times, only to return to the U.S. to commit more felonies. He's been issued nine warrants for failure to appear, has routinely violated the terms of his parole, and regularly commits violent crimes. Martinez moved to Portland sometime in the past three years. His last listed address was a shelter in Northwest Portland, but he lives on the streets.

His most recent deportation was in November 2016. In December, the Department of Homeland Security requested a detainer for Martinez, but local authorities released him back into the community without notifying DHS or ICE. An immigration detainer is a request to authorities to notify DHS before releasing Martinez to allow ICE to take him into custody. This never happened.

Portland cares more about a homeless illegal alien drug addict than they do about law-abiding citizens of their city. But you know what? The reason Portland cares more about an illegal alien drug addict criminal than their own citizens is because that's exactly what the law-abiding citizens told Portland to care about first.

I'm willing to bet that this illegal alien drug-addict criminal's rape victim voted for the Leftist policies year after year after year after year, and how her chickens have come home to roost. That doesn't mean she deserved it. That doesn't mean that the illegal alien drug addict criminal doesn't deserve to have a bullet put into his head and his body dumped into an un-marked grave out in the woods as punishment for his crimes. But if anyone should suffer for imposing blatantly stupid Leftist policies on the population, it's other Leftists.

My advice? The last time I was in Portland was about 2013. Courthouse Square was full of homeless panhandlers. It smelled like rancid piss. Don't bother going to Portland. There are plenty of places in Oregon that are much nicer, cleaner, cheaper and just plain better. Let Portland rot.

Ten researchers from the CDC’s National Centers for Immunization and Respiratory Disease (NCIRD) released a paper arguing that because the immune-boosting effects of breastmilk inhibit the effects of the live oral rotavirus vaccine, nursing mothers should delay breastfeeding their infants.

This, dear readers, is the kind of convoluted logic that permeates the pharmaceutical industry. To be fair, the paper does not recommend that mothers stop breastfeeding, merely that they delay nursing at the time that the vaccine is administered. It also says that other avenues for boosting the vaccine’s efficacy should be explored.

Honestly, I don’t care how nuanced their recommendation is. Do they not realize what they have stumbled upon? In demonstrating that breastmilk counters the live vaccine, they’ve shown that breastmilk counters the virus.

Emphasis in the original, and if it weren't there I would have done it. This highlights the unholy stupidity of the credentialed class. Breastmilk is full of immune system-boosting goodies. There's no need to start shooting up a kid with vaccines if they're nursing, because they're getting what they need from mommy dearest!

And who the hell thinks that a mother is going to delay breastfeeding? What kind of family would allow a mother to delay breastfeeding on the advice of some unknown pharmacy-funded asshole from the CDC?

And yet here we have another fucking government agency vomiting out some of the most stupid, bone-headed, completely wrong suggestions, because VACCINES?

Give the kid the vaccine later, after he's done nursing! Maybe the problem in today's world is that more kids are given formula instead of nursing, thus lessening the beneficial effects of breastmilk.

Remember, if X is an unknown quantity, and a spurt is a drip of water under pressure, then an Expert is an unknown drip under pressure.
